Applicant asks planning board to rescind 1999 Adelines Way subdivision; abutter raises concrete-dumping concerns
Summary
An applicant asked the planning board to rescind a 1999 cluster-subdivision approval for Adelines Way to clean up title and allow alternative use; an abutter raised concerns about concrete and commercial truck activity on the parcel, which the property owner said was temporary and due to an unusually severe winter. The board closed the hearing and asked staff to draft a rescission motion for July 28.
Attorney Brian Wall asked the board July 7 to rescind a 1999 approved definitive subdivision plan and the related special permit for Adelines Way; the subdivision was never constructed and the applicant, now owner Dave Forcillo, seeks to "clear the slate" so the property can be considered for alternate uses.
Wall said the prior subdivision and special permit likely lapsed; he told the board the request is mainly a record-cleanup step so the registry no longer portrays the property as a subdivision. The board discussed lapse rules and whether the definitive plan remains on record even after the special permit period has expired.
An abutter, Deanna Burke (350 Old Barnstable Road), asked what activities are occurring on the property, citing concrete being dumped and commercial trucks and noise. Owner Dave Forcillo (speaking at the microphone) explained that a severe winter created temporary storage of concrete on the parcel and that he intends to remove and crush that material and clean up the site; he said he had title insurance and will follow permitting processes.
The board closed the hearing and directed planning staff to draft a positive motion to rescind the definitive plan for consideration at the July 28 meeting so the matter can be handled formally in writing.
Next steps: staff to prepare the rescission motion and the board will consider it at the July 28 meeting.
